The
Mercury II looks like a great improvement. I am still using an Ultra--it is almost 4 years old but it continues to provide great service.
I really hoped the next generation Fortec would combine FTA digital Satellite with FTA Digital Terrestial. Here in Atlanta, like most larger cities, all of the local networks are broadcasting in Digital . How nice it would be to seemlessly switch between Satellite and Locals, it is my understanding that some of the Fortec models sold in Europe already integrate the two technologies.
Now, if Fortec can just strike a deal with dishnet or directv to combine all of the technologies (DBS Subscription, DVB-T, DVB-S) into one unit--what a paradise we would have!
